11. Mostly agree on how you characterize the situation
Edited on Sat Nov-10-07 12:40 AM by cuke
but I disagree on how to resolve these serious issues.

Future seniors are going to face some serious problems, but unlike you, I don't how legislation is going to solve the problem. It's not as simple as passing a law and giving everyone what they need. What is really needed, IMO, is for us to get out total economic house in order. Passing a law, without making sure our economy can fund it, is of no use at all.

I also don't think SS needs any fixing. As I mentioned in my earlier post, we need strong unions and a strong economy. Without those, legislation won't be sufficient. And I'm not going to knock Edwards plan. I just think that we need more than legislation.
